Rakshasa

The Rakshasa are a race of humanoid tigers which inhabit the continents of Farore and Tian.

Appearance
Rakshasa stand about the same height as humans, though are physically stronger. They have the heads, tails and stripes of tigers, four clawed fingers on their hands and three clawed toes on their feet.

While most Rakshasa have orange fur, the Rakshasa royal families of Farore are known to have white fur.

History
Little is known about the history of the Rakshasa before their arrival in Farore.

According to those Rakshasa that first arrived, they were fleeing a cataclysm that devastated their home.

Shortly after arriving, the Rakshasa of Farore established two nations in northeastern Farore.

During the Fourth Era, another group of Rakshasa was discovered, with almost the exact same culture. This, along with the discovery of old ruins on the continent of Ren, solidified the theory of the Rakshasa homeland originally being located in the west.

Religion
The Rakshasa follow a pantheon of gods, a religion brought with them from their Exodus.
